For the past 2 days I’ve been locked away in the office working away on all these sticker sheets. I am so so thankful to everyone that has came to BMBC for all your journaling needs ! I can finally say I am now on top of all stickers 😍 it may not look like 2 days worth but trust me they take time and effort but honestly … I love it ! In between making these I’ve been working on processing the remaining Reading Journal orders & bookmark club mail outs too ! But I’ve had an absolutely amazing audiobook keeping me company… I’ve been listening to Dire Bound by @sablesorensen and it has completely taken over my personality. I’ve devoured it. It was meant to be a buddy read with @megbailey192 but I’ve bypassed the 50 pages a day and I now only have about 30 pages left … oops (sorry not sorry) IT IS EPIC!! If you haven’t already, please go read it ! It’s top tier Romantasy 🥰 —— #bookrec #stickermaker #readingjournal #journalstickers #bookishaccessories

✨Our Dream Home ✨ Book review - Publishing: 25th

✨Our Dream Home ✨ Book review - Publishing: 25th February 2026 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m so very proud to say I am ending my reading year with an exceptional read by an author I absolutely love. I said this last time in my last read of Jessica’s that it was my favourite yet but I think this one has topped it. This is the perfect popcorn thriller, you just have to read more ! It was suspense and twisty and I loved Fiona ! She resonated so much with me and I’m not sure why. I just loved her and I just need more of her, I could have easily have read another 200 pages of her but that being said, for this book to be any longer I think it wouldn’t have been as great (I hope that makes sense) There is a character I absolutely LOATHE in this book and I’m sure if you read this, you’ll feel the same. They were awful and very well written- to get this much of a visceral response - HA! I will admit I guessed one of the twists early on but it didn’t impact my enjoyment of the story at all! —— 📖 Blurb: I never win anything. Not competitions. Not arguments. Not affection from my own children. Most days, I’m just getting through – dodging teenage sarcasm, scraping fishfingers off plates, wishing my husband would just notice me once in a while. Then came the emails. Win a car! Win a holiday! Win a house! Spam, obviously. I blocked them. But then I heard the radio. A real dream-home giveaway. And for one moment – stuck between roadworks and honking horns – I let myself want something. I texted in. And suddenly my whole life changed. Now we’re living in a house bigger than my wildest dreams – and my darkest nightmares. Because the threats started almost immediately. Someone congratulating me . . . by name. Someone who knows about the mistake that ruined everything sixteen years ago. They know the truth. They want something from me. And if I don’t give it to them, my lucky break will become a death sentence —— [ Gifted ARC ] A huge Thankyou to @jessica_reading_writing @netgalley & @joffebooks for having me ! 🏷️

✨newness …. Coming soon ✨ I’ve been working reall

✨newness …. Coming soon ✨ I’ve been working really hard behind the scenes on my Christmas break on teaching myself how to sew and honestly … I’ve had so much fun learning a new skill. I’ve been wanting to learn for the longest time and now seemed like the perfect time. Introducing our first new product - zipper pouches ! These will be launching early 2026 in a range of designs. So be sure to check back as these were just my samples. These are perfect for storing your annotation supplies such as book tabs, highlighters & pens inside or even your bookmarks ! Stay tuned for other sewn products coming soon 🤭 Pictured is my first ever attempt at using a sewing machine and I think I’ve discovered a hidden talent … ❓ who’s excited for the next BMBC launch?? ——- These zipper pouches will be released in batches rather than made to order so there may be times where they are out of stock or in some cases LIMITED RUNS. I’m hoping to release seasonal designs and of course some with my own designs 🏷️

✨You’ll Never Know✨ By @calebstephensauthor A h

✨You’ll Never Know✨ By @calebstephensauthor A huge Thankyou to @librofm @simonmaverickaudio & the author @calebstephensauthor for gifting this audiobook This was my first by the author, and it most definitely won’t be my last. I binged the first 83% in one sitting last one night as I just couldn’t hit pause. The audiobook was fab! Truly ! It had me from chapter one The plot was exceptional and I didn’t see the end coming. I had an inkling around the half way mark but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. With multiple points of view & timelines it really has you gripped. Sometimes leaving you on a little cliffhanger for a couple of chapters until it comes back to the character - this I absolutely loved ! I’ve recommended this to my entire discord community as they just need to experience this for themselves Now… I need to choose my next read 🤭 I doubt my next will live up to it tbh. ❓ Have you read any by Caleb Stephens ? Let me know which I should pick up very soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 The narrators were fantastic 👌🏼 [ Gifted Audiobook] —— Join the best audiobook service out there with my referral link (🔗 in bio) and get 2 extra credits By joining Libro.fm you not only keep the audiobooks you get to support an independent bookstore of your choosing #booklover #thrillerreader #thrillerrecommendations #bookreview audiobooklover

🎄 Not Another Bloody Christmas … book review ⭐️⭐

🎄 Not Another Bloody Christmas … book review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thoroughly enjoyed this hilarious murder mystery. I was apprehensive about it living up to book one but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s laugh out loud and thoroughly engaging. It had me trying to guess who the killer was throughout whilst chuckling to myself with Anna’s hilarious antics & interactions with her family. Highly recommend these books to those looking for an easy festive read with murder, laughter and fun! Im truly hoping for another instalment of this series in 2026. #bookreview #festivereads #bookworms #readerlife #readersofinstagram

✨Good Spirits✨ By @authorbkborison ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

✨Good Spirits✨ By @authorbkborison ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first read by this author and it will definitely not be my last. I absolutely adored the chemistry between Nolan & Harriet from the get go with their fantastic banter. The humour was spot on throughout and I honestly giggled. I’ve said this before in previous reviews that a 31 year old man giggling and kicking their feet is not a pretty sight but this truly had me. I just might think my heart melted when reading this or maybe it just grew three sizes. I read this in 2 sittings. Couldn’t put it down. It was exactly what I hoped and more. Usually I’m very apprehensive about a book that is hyped this much as I worry incase I won’t love it but oh no, I was pleasantly surprised ! It’s reasonably hyped !! That ending had me close to tears 🥹 I have to mention this because I need to vent it. I despise Harriet’s family. They are horrible ! Truly, truly horrible characters and I’m so glad they didn’t get anymore time. Definitely a book I can see myself re-reading every Christmas #booklover #bookreview #goodspiritsbook #romancereader #festivereads

✨Closed for Christmas ✨ We are now officially on

✨Closed for Christmas ✨ We are now officially on annual leave for Christmas and we just wanted to take a moment to thank each and everyone of you for your support in 2025. It hasn’t been an easy year but it’s been so heartwarming to see familiar faces return time and time again and see plenty of new faces. Every order has truly meant something to us and it’s difficult to express how grateful we are over a simple post but it’s been an absolute pleasure making your bookish accessories in 2025. For now I plan on devouring my body weight in mince pies, pigs in blankets and a whole load of Prosecco. In between binge reading my festive TBR! We have a couple of orders leaving us in the morning but I’m officially calling it holiday time. The website remains open so feel free to browse or place a cheeky order for us coming back on 4th January ❓ let me know your current read ❓ this one is for our customers - what’s been your favourite BookMarkedByChris this year ? Team BMBC
Chris & Maty xx
